San Francisco Giants

Oakland A’s manager Bob Melvin said he sent get well wishes to Giants manager Bruce Bochy Thursday night after hearing that Bochy had been admitted to a Scottsdale hospital after his physical exam revealed the need for an operation that inserted two stents into his heart.

“That’s scary, and he’s talking like it’s no big deal,’’ Melvin said. “He’s the best manager in the big leagues.

“I don’t know if that gets caught in the physicals they gave 10 years ago or when I was playing.’’

Melvin said Thursday that the only quirk he’d had during a physical was when as a player he was detected as having a heart murmur. It turned out to be something of an overly vigorous heart.

Do you have any special memories of the 1989 earthquake that changed the lives of many of us living in the Bay Area a quarter of a century ago?

Electric City Entertainment is putting together an exploration of the Loma Prieta quake that hit just moments before the scheduled start of Game 3 of the Series between the A’s and Giants.

The film will be the second in ESPN’s 30 for 30 series produced by Jamie Patricof, whose first ESPN film was Straight Outta L.A.

This current film will be looking back at the 1989 series from the perspective of 25 years having elapsed. In addition to using archival footage, the producers are looking for personal and previously untold stories from the fans’ perspective.

If you have a story to tell about that day and that World Series and are interesting in sharing it, you can write it down or out together a video and send it to thedaytheseriesstopped@gmail.com.

It’s unusual for the first game of a homestand to be a day game, and as such, the building up to Monday’s Memorial Day game between the Athletics and the Giants at the Coliseum was a little out of the norm.

Neither team took batting practice, the A’s having flown in from Houston Sunday night and the Giants having made the trek from San Francisco early Monday morning.
